Use metal conduit, not PVC. PVC reacts with the plastic and the plastic will not last. I know, from expensive experience.

Dear Landers,

Just a reminder that hoophouses will extend the growing season and cost very little. Just PVC pipe and plastic. Or if you are really ambitious, make them tall enough to walk in. A lady here in Lubbock grows kale and lettuce all winter using them. No extra heating but we have a lot of sunshine.
